There has been no appreciable rain here since about 4 weeks ago. The few sprinkles we've had since then have not even been enough to settle the dust.

Hey, at least you were 'up wind' from the screener! :cheers:

I'm waiting for 31 pages of pics to load (F****** dial-up! :vmad: )....once loaded, I'll post a pic of the 'haul road' to a 'quarry' we hauled out of last year. They cut down 8 rows of corn so we could get to the 'quarry'. :wow:

Actually, here's a few pics. I had forgotten that we ended up running over 2-4 more rows of corn just to keep from hitting trucks going the other direction.

:yikes: You guys were probably speeding through the cornfield just to keep ahead of the dust cloud!

I'll bet that farmers corn picker will dull out pretty quick with all the "abrasives" on the cornstalks in there.

Actually, no. We couldn't 'speed' because it was too rough!

Because I'm so tall, I ride with no air in my seat........just to keep my head from bouncing off the cab roof. It didn't help if I sped here. :wtf:

Although, a SNUG seatbelt did! ;)
